They were diverse and I loved how they each handled differently. Hobgoblins, for instance, really felt like trained warriors that were able to work together.- Quick rounds, longer combat: More of the player's likings, really. Each round moved fast, but combat took longer. Oh, and "boss"-type fights where the PCs face a single enemy finally work like their supposed to.- Ability to self-heal: Second Wind for the win- New Crit Hits: More reasonable.What I didn't like IN PLAY:- Too many status effects: While I like status effects, it was becoming rather cumbersome. Marked + Slowed + Lingering Acid damage + roll to recharge powers + etc.. Save vs. each, every round till you make it. It felt like we needed tokens to represent all the statues effects and remember what we were rolling for.- Of all the classes, the cleric was the class that seemed to function completely different from it's previous counterparts.</blockquote>
